Shipyard Brewing 1
This week, Brandon and Zach spent a couple days checking out a bunch of the great breweries and brew pubs on the Maine Beer Trail. Their mission: deliver Maine Beer Trail brochures and have a heck of a good time enjoying the Trail. Brandon was the tour guide and Zach (who is visiting Maine from Iowa) was the official staff photographer and beer taster.
Their journey began at Shipyard Brewing Company in Portland where they loaded their car full of brochures and headed south to their first stop: the Shipyard Brew Pub in Eliot, just outside Kittery. This is the first brew pub you hit when you cross into Maine from New Hampshire.
Next up: Federal Jack’s Restaurant and Brew Pub in Kennebunk and the new Run of the Mill Pub in Saco. Both of these pubs are in beautiful settings. Federal Jack’s overlooks Kennebunkport Harbor and Run on of the Mill is on Saco Island in a newly refurbished mill.
They stopped at the new Sea Dog Brewing Company in South Portland to see the amazing Cap Dog art and check out a brew then it was off to Sebago Brewing Company by the Maine Mall before heading onward to Portland, where they visited Sebago Brewing Company, Allagash Brewing, D.L. Geary Brewing, and Gritty’s.
The next day they headed north with stops at Gritty’s in Freeport and Auburn, Sea Dog Brewing Company in Topsham, and The Liberal Cup in Hallowell. Phew!
There’s more to the trail as you head further north and up the coast, including: Sea Dog Brewing Company in Bangor, Atlantic Brewing Company in Bar Harbor, and Kennebec River Pub & Brewery in The Forks. You also won’t want to miss The Inn on Peaks Island in Casco Bay (just a 5 minute ferry ride from Portland) and, during ski season, the Shipyard Brew Haus at Sunday River and Sugarloaf.
